26、acteristics for a single vertical insulated wire or cable. It cannot be assumed that, because a cable or wire meets the requirements of parts 1 and 2, a vertical bunch of similar cables or wires will behave in a similar manner. This is because flame spread along a vertical bunch of cables depends on

27、 a number of features, such as a) the volume of combustible material exposed to the fire and to any flame which may be produced by the combustion of the cables; b) the geometrical configuration of the cables and their relationship to an enclosure; c) the temperature at which it is possible to ignite

28、 the gases emitted from the cables; d) the quantity of combustible gas released from the cables for a given temperature rise; e) the volume of air passing through the cable installation; f) the construction of the cable, for example armoured or unarmoured, multi- or single-core. All of the foregoing

29、 assume that the cables are able to be ignited when involved in an external fire. Part 3 of IEC 60332 gives details of a test where a number of cables are bunched together to form various test sample installations. For easier use and differentiation of the various test categories, the parts are desi

30、gnated as follows: Part 3-10: Apparatus Part 3-21: Category A F/R Part 3-22: Category A Part 3-23: Category B Part 3-24: Category C Part 3-25: Category D Parts from 3-21 onwards define the various categories and the relevant procedures. The categories are distinguished by test duration, the volume o

31、f non-metallic material of the test sample and the method of mounting the sample for the test. In all categories, cables having at least one conductor of cross-sectional area greater than 35 mm are tested in a spaced configuration, whereas cables of conductor cross-sectional area of 35 mm2or smaller

32、 and optical cables are tested in a touching configuration. The categories are not necessarily related to different safety levels in actual cable installations. The actual installed configuration of the cables may be a major determinant in the level of flame spread occurring in an actual fire. The m

33、ethod of mounting described as category A F/R (part 3-21) is intended for special cable designs used in particular installations. Categories A, B, C and D (parts 3-22 to 3-25 respectively) are for general use where different non-metallic volumes are applicable. BS EN 60332-3-23:2009!Text deleted“!“L

35、 The series of International standards covered by Parts 3-10, 3-21, 3-22, 3-23, 3-24 and 3-25 of IEC 60332 specifies methods of test for the assessment of vertical flame spread of vertically-mounted bunched wires or cables, electrical or optical, under defined conditions. NOTE For the purpose of thi

36、s standard, the term “electric wire or cable“ covers all insulated metallic conductor cables used for the conveyance of energy or signals. The test is intended for type approval testing. The requirements for the selection of cables for testing are given in annex A. The flame spread is measured as th

37、e extent of damage of the cable sample. This procedure may be used to demonstrate the cables ability to limit flame spread. This part of IEC 60332 covers category B and relates to cables installed on the test ladder to achieve a nominal total volume of non-metallic material of 3,5 l/m of test sample

38、. The flame application time is 40 min. The method of mounting uses the front of the standard ladder. The category is intended for general use where medium volumes of non-metallic material are required to be evaluated. A recommended performance requirement is given in annex B. 2 Normative references

The definitions are taken from IEC 60695-4. 3.1 ignition source source of energy that initiates combustion 3.2 char carbonaceous residue resultin

43、g from pyrolysis or incomplete combustion 3.3 flame spread propagation of a flame front 4 Test apparatus 4.1 General The apparatus specified in IEC 60332-3-10 shall be used. 4.2 Ignition source The ignition source shall be one ribbon-type propane gas burner as specified in IEC 60332-3-10. 5 Test pro

44、cedure 5.1 Test sample The test sample shall comprise a number of test pieces of cable from the same production length, each having a minimum length of 3,5 m. The total number of test pieces in the test sample shall be that number required to provide a nominal total volume of non-metallic material o

45、f 3,5 l/m of test sample. The test sample shall be chosen within the limitations given in annex A. The test pieces forming the test sample shall be conditioned at a temperature of (20 10) C for at least 16 h before commencing the test. The test pieces shall be dry. 5.2 Determination of the number of

46、 test pieces In order to calculate the appropriate number of test pieces, it is necessary to determine the volume per metre of non-metallic material of one test piece. A length of cable which shall be not less than 0,3 m long is carefully cut to ensure that the surfaces are at right angles to the ca

47、ble axis, thus enabling precise measurements of its length.

48、d in an appropriate way, for example clause 8 of IEC 60811-1-3, in order to obtain values expressed to the second decimal place. Each non-metallic material Cishall be removed from the test piece and weighed. Any non-metallic material making up less than 5 % of the total non-metallic mass of the test

49、 piece shall be assumed to have a density of 1,0 kg/dm. Where semi-conducting screens cannot be removed from the insulating material, the components may be considered as one for the purpose of measuring their mass and density. The volume Vi(litres per metre of cable) of each non-metallic material Ciis calculated as follows: lMV=iiiwhere Miis the mass of the component Ci(kg); iis the density of the component Ci(kg/dm); l is the length of the test piec
